Yeah, but understand that this article is for those who have suffered from a terrible flood, customizing and having a project car from their previously working cars will be the last thing on their minds.

It's a totally different camera and frankly, it's not realistic to compare the two without citing your planned usage... It's like comparing a 2-door coupe vs an van.. While both can get you to your destination, are you carrying just one passenger or 5 luggages? Do you need to park it in small parking slots or do you need to go off road?

Same thing with these two options you presented. Both are excellent machines but there are more limitations to the micro 4/3 options in terms of situational use than a standard DSLR. However, if you don't like lugging a big camera, no amount of technical superiority of a full DSLR will do for you.

Hi Raden, welciome to the site. The info you posted would help other G10/G11 users out there. :)

Well said Joe... Love-Hate... That\'s my sentiment as well, but it\'s like trying to hate a Jessica Alba as a spouse, you\'ll just let things slide :D

Welcome Sam :) Feel free to email me :)

Raul, I've read about that and here's a solution that worked for others, get the 72C and then use a step-up adapter. Please refer to this dpreview thread...

I agree with you, Dustin. It has its usage, and you can't beat the price :D

Welcome to the site BTW.

Well, both versions are exemplary, but the L (this version) cost a lot more (almost 40% more). As you probably know, it's not really the lens that'll give you great photos, but your photography skills. If you're using it purely for macro work, then the non-IS version will more than make you happy, if you're using the lens for general shooting as well, the hybrid IS will be very, very helpful.

I only use my Sto-fens when firing my flashes through an umbrella or scrim (off-cam).
